There are zero negative effects. I am only 10 minutes from the track, know the owner, and am out there almost every weekend. If you didn't see the pictures you would never know the place was under 15'-20' of water.

Cool, I'm undecided whether I'm going to run that class to. I need a bigger fuel pump and the funds just aren't there right now.

I hear you on the funds. I have everything I am going to have mods wise, just need to get the stuff finished and work lots of overtime to be able to afford nitrous, gas, and trailer rental.

Yes the trailer rental and hotel room is killing me right now so I'm coming with the same old tired setup with only minor changes.

If someone needs a ride from central or North (meet us on the route) Texas, shoot me a PM. Tony, Kyle, and I are convoying up together, but we had a couple friends who normally would ride with us not be able to make it this year. We might be picking up a staff member or two from Nitro Dave's, but at this point I have no passengers. All three of us have crew cab trucks and so far only the drivers (us) are 100% for sure going.

If you guys can swing up north to Idaho ill ride along :D

Im starting to stress i still dont have my block back yet and wont have it till next week!!!I have alot of work ahead of me!!!

Lets keep this thread alive. There are a lot of reasons to attend this event great drag racing, great people, after racing party / tailgating and you could even get some magazine coverage if your lucky. :nod:

I know how you feel. My shortblock won't get started on until next week. The heads should be done soon. Without the flow numbers I can't choose a cam. As always, it will be a last minute effort for me.

And there are always other projects....

You better be trailoring your car this year.... Ill fly and meet ya there.:chug:

You guys that are undecided about going. You have no idea what you will miss if you do not make it. Out of all the races I attend the LTX is the one that I have the best time at.
Everyone is so friendly and get along that the entire group is involved in the weekend activties that take place after the fun day of racing. We normally all take over a restraunt and then find a bar/grill the following night after the race to take over.

I can not tell you how much fun we have...
Nothing like a weekend of fun with great friends with some good racing!
See ya there!
Dave

I couldn't agree with you more Dave. :chug:

Well i should have mine running today!!

That is great news!

It's just right around the corner!

I may be at this depending on funds

Im working on getting a trailer and Ill be going. No where near my goal I had for this time, but still should be a fun time. :corn:

Edit, got a truck and trailer lined up. Would like to do the 847 cam swap if I can get my hands on the parts in time. My th350 swap wont be done, so my stock convertor and trans is gonna kill me. Hopefully my cage is in by then along with my 4.10s

It will be my first time at the event, it's one of my bucket list items. Tonight I will be doing a "run-over" of my Z, changing the oil, changing a few things around, blah blah blah. Cannot wait to run. I don't even know what I run with my new set-up, but I don't really care, I will just run index and have (A LOT of) fun with it.

Trailering from the Detroit area, reserved my room for two nights, and I'm ready to go!

I love this event and it's my second year but, I feel just as excited as the first time.

Glad you can make it your going to have a great time.

Yet again, my car doesn't want to go to the Shootout.

1st gear just checked out. Gone. Bye bye. Nothing there.

Taking it over to a buddy tomorrow night for a thrash.

Think it's the planetary, even though I already had a 5 pinion... same one as the Escalade I think. Fluid looks and smells good, so I don't think it was the clutches. We'll see when we get it apart.

Last year, the night before we were leaving for the Shootout, my front skinny came apart at 60 MPH and tore my driver side fender to hell. Got about 4 hours of sleep that night but I only left two hours late... with a stupid black front fender that Clayton and I had stuck on (and two new front tires), but I made it.

It's nice to see that my luck remains consistent. :eyes:

Hang in there man it's going to get better. I hope you get it fixed in time.

Thanks for the well wishes guys. Tranny should be coming apart today. Robby was slammed with previously scheduled work and is doing his damndest to even get to it today. He is doing me a favor by squeezing it in with no notice. Car itself is over at Tony's. Trailered it there Friday after dropping the trans at Robby's, and Tony and I changed the valve stem seals. I stayed until 12:30 AM but Tony kept working on my car until the job was done at 2 AM. That's the kind of great friend he is.

The event must be fun. I am too far to be part of this event. Wishing you all Good luck and Have fun!!!!:D

Good friends... it's always great to have good ones to back you up.

Im going but just to watch and play pit crew for Jason (am_muscl) Love to meet you all, not sure how u will recognize me without my car though lol
